It used to be that Samsung’s smartwatches were the best for Android users. But now that the Google Pixel Watch has arrived, which one is actually the best Wear OS smartwatch?

What other products would make for a really cool Versus video?
Tbh I had some kind of stress watching her trying to impersonate two different people, but i quickly got through that and then started enjoying the plot and a good montage! Didn’t try to offend, just sharing my opinion on where to improve)
In order to make the video entertaining u made a circus! Come back Dieter!
I had a idea. How about an invisible physical rotatable bezel on the next Galaxy Watch6? That would be the best thing ever for both durability and reliability
This video is over edited. Too much flash, not enough substance.
Even if the bezels “blend in” you still have such a small screen; or at least a much smaller screen than the body could fit
The comparison lost its direction immediately when they focused on bragging to each other. What I can only take from it is that the Android watch world is a mess and there's actually nothing worth the money.

hi
The best is the Samsung Watch4 ! 🤣
the Galaxy 4 Classic with a physical rotating stainless steel bezel 46mm
Versus is back!
i usually really like the verge's reviews, but i dont rly like this format im sorry
Hindsight just get apple watch or more mechanical watch lmao
Don't like whole back and forth between. Keep it on same watch at a time
Ooof
Anyone else missing Lauren Goode on the verge after watching this?
Is nice to see this versus format come back to The Verge! As good as Lauren Goode did the last time.
I know a few people that own Samsung Watch 4 and they charge that things day to about a day and a half and that's great compared to my Pixel Watch but that and the old processor are my only complaint about the Pixel Watch, The bezel only seems to stand out way more before the whole top is a dome of glass and hopefully it'll be fixed by the next gen Pixel Watch along with a bigger battery and updated processor.
The part you need to redo is with the Garmin users complaining. The Fossil and Huawei guys get two weeks out of their battery.
I have owned both and I personally prefer the Pixel Watch. I think it's more fluid, has a nicer design and is much more comfortable to wear. The battery life has also gotten better the more I've used it, so that hasn't been nearly as bad as a lot of reviewers say, as well as the bands….they are super easy to attach. No idea why reviewers struggle with it. The health tracking is also excellent. I have full sleeve tattoos on both arms and this still accurately reads my heart rate, which I can't really say for the Galaxy Watch (or the Apple watch). So I'm definitely going to be sticking with the Pixel Watch, and I'm excited to see where they take it in the next few iterations.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. How'd y'all get that first shotttt??? WOoooooooOWW
Wow they're both kinda bad. Guess I'll wait for a better watch.
I love this video. This is very helpful
VERSUS IS BACK! Lauren Goode would be honoured.
Actually the best android watch is the Samsung Galaxy watch 4. It's exactly the same than the 5, is cheaper and still has the rotating bezels.
The nostalgia of watching Lauren Goode in versus hitting hard !
The Verge has been trying this new super casual approach to make it's videos more friendly, but I'm sorry guys it just isn't working out. People that are seriously interested in technology or a review before making a purchase, they want to get to the point and cut the senseless moments out, there are so many of those moments & scenes in your videos lately that it just makes the video look unprofessional.
Go back to the old style, a few familiar faces with expertise in their areas, casually recording a video without trying too hard to be casual or humorous.
arey they the same person, pls im not racist
Lauren Goode would turning in her grave right now (if she weren't alive and doing cool stuff still).
I think it kinda depends on which phone you use as well. For Samsung phones, the Galaxy Watch is the way to go. For Pixel phones, the Pixel Watch is probably the way to go. And as for other Android phone manufacturers, I'd say it's very close to pick a clear winner.
